In 1996 the Past Shooters & Guides Association gifted $2,000 to provide financial assistance to Kansas students majoring in wildlife management or conservation. Now known as the Willis Scholarship Foundation, named for wildlife artist and longtime hunt supporter Wayne Willis, the fund is endowed with the Central Kansas Community Foundation. The Willis Scholarship Foundation has distributed nearly $400,000 in scholarships to Kansas students. Scholarship recipients are encouraged to attend the Hunt each year where they serve as volunteers and have the opportunity to meet the celebrity hunters and supporters of the foundation.
